An .htaccess file is a text file that includes directives which tell a web server how to act in certain occasions. It needs to be placed in the folder in which these directives should be performed. Many script-driven apps use such a file to work efficiently - WordPress and Joomla™, for example. You can use such a file with personalized content as well and do a lot of things - block an IP address, a whole network or particular Internet sites from accessing your site, set personalized error pages which shall show up rather than server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the website, direct a domain or a subdomain to a new web address, create a password-protected area and much more. With an .htaccess file, you shall have much better control over your world-wide web presence.
